Principal District Judge S. Sameena and District Collector S. Kandasamy flagged off the rally at the Integrated Court Complex. It proceeded along Perundurai Road and concluded near the District Headquarters Hospital. Senior judges, advocates, conciliators, and court staffs joined the rally and distributed pamphlets to promote alternative dispute resolution.
Organisers said the District Mediation Centre is working to resolve pending cases in the Erode District Court efficiently and without delays. As part of the State-wide 90-day campaign 'Conciliation for the Nation,' the initiative targets out-of-court settlements for cases involving divorce, matrimonial disputes, domestic violence, accident compensation, cheque bounce, and other civil matters.
Video conferencing facilities have been made available through taluk and district legal services to handle cases remotely. The initiative aims to reduce the court's backlog and provide quick, cost-free, confidential, and non-appealable resolutions. Litigants may participate directly or through advocates, with the option to proceed through regular court channels if mediation fails.
Eligible cases from both district and taluk courts have been identified and referred for mediation.
Superintendent of Police A. Sujatha, I Additional District and Sessions Judge S. Ezhil, II Additional District and Sessions Judge V. Suresh, Lok Adalat Chairperson V.P. Sugandhi, along with other judges and lawyers, also participated in the rally.

As Nimisha Priya's execution nears, bad news from this country where three Indians are sentenced to death, country is..., Indian govt...
(Representational image: New Delhi: Indian nurse Nimisha Priya has been sentenced to death in a murder case in Yemen and she will be executed on July 16 as per the latest reports. Despite the efforts of Nimisha's family, the Indian government and many organizations, the possibility of Nimisha's execution being postponed seems very low. Amidst Nimisha's case, a court in Indonesia has also sentenced three Indians to death. Who are the three Indians? Three Indians have been sentenced to death in Indonesia after being found guilty of drug trafficking. The country's High Court has also upheld the conviction of all three. These three Indians sentenced to death in Indonesia are Raju Muthukumaran, Selvadurai Dinakaran and Govindasamy Vimalkandan. All three are currently in jail. What does India say? The Indian Ambassador to Indonesia, Sandeep Chakraborty, has formally called for a re-investigation into the case. Sandeep Chakraborty said that we have demanded a resumption of the investigation. All witnesses, including the captain and crew of the ship, should also be thoroughly investigated. Sandip Chakraborty said, 'We have faith in the Indonesian judicial system. We believe that due process should be followed in the investigation. We have seen many discrepancies in the investigation. All evidence, including mobile phone records, has not been examined. Death penalty is a harsh decision and this punishment can be given only in the rarest of rare cases. In such a situation, this case should be investigated again.' What is the case? Indian citizens, Raju Muthukumaran, Selvadurai Dinakaran and Govindasamy Vimalkandan were arrested in July last year from a Singapore-flagged ship near Karimun Island in Indonesia's Riau Islands. It was claimed that all three were smuggling narcotic drugs. A case was filed against all three and the District Court of Tanjung Balai Karimun found them guilty and sentenced them to death. The high court has also upheld the death sentence of these three. All three may be executed in the coming days. On the other hand, India's diplomatic mission has accused Indonesian authorities of negligence from arrest to trial proceedings. The Indian government is putting pressure through its diplomatic channels for legal and humanitarian assistance for its three citizens.
